Release Train Engineer - Columbia, United States - Genesis Consulting
Description
Job DescriptionGenesis Consulting has an immediate opportunity for an experienced, forward thinking Release Train Engineer with a passion for growth and business transformation. Join our team and utilize the latest technology to configure, develop, deliver and support applications for our clients while leveraging concepts of Lean, Agile, Kanban and SAFe. Our clients are some of the world's leading companies and the candidate will be a part of challenging projects to build and support technical solutions for their needs.
The Release Train Engineer's (RTE) primary purpose is to launch and run Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to success and navigate the complexity of delivering technology solutions to our client and stakeholders consistently in large environments.
Duties and Responsibilities:
The RTE is a critical stakeholder in an ART and in work related to but not within the ART. They are key to ensuring that teams adopt and mature with the SAFe practices being targeted by the SAFe Transformation Team. They are also responsible for organizing, facilitating, and improving the virtual PI Planning events involving over 25 teams and up to 350 participants.
As part of the SAFe transformation team, they work with scrum masters, product owners, and delivery team members to adopt SAFe practices and to improve delivery through these practices.
The RTE is the keeper of the SAFe practices for their ART. As such, they must be in constant contact with their teams to ensure that practices are followed and that teams become more mature with each iteration.
As the key organizer for virtual PI Planning events, the RTE must be on top of all aspects of planning the event. This includes setting the agenda, getting all necessary approvals, confirming which teams will participate and report, organizing licenses for the tools used, creating the facilitators' guide, and more.
During the PI Planning event, the RTE will be the key point of contact for all teams in the ART and must be able to resolve issues, escalate when needed, and keep other stakeholders abreast of changes and major events.
During PI Execution, the RTE works with teams and reports out to Product Managers and other leadership in terms of issues and concerns teams have with their PI commitments, risk management, dependency management, and overall adherence to SAFe practices.
The RTE facilitates weekly scrum of scrums meetings, participates in weekly product owner sync meetings, and attends team meetings as necessary. Following up on these meetings with status reports and online dashboards is part of the weekly work that they do. And on a daily basis, the RTE keeps track of JIRA tickets that are created and updated to ensure that unexpected risks and dependencies are communicated and/or escalated.
Duties include, but may not be limited to:
